I have hfc on my aftermarket exhaust and it's pretty loud when it is idling :) But I think quiet idling is better for the comfortness? ppl who pass by may say "oh that's not even a sports car. so quiet" then you rev it up and be like "b$tch eat this" with your Meisterschaft and teach them a lesson :) idle ninja!

May I ask why you are concerned with the idle sound rather then driving around sound? Most of the time you're going to be on the gas anyways.

lol because most of the time people ask me, "is your car even on?" it bothers me, a sports car should have a nice low rumble sound.

im going to give test pipes a try, what are the best ones? Fast intentions?

and also is there any way we could make the idle rev higher?

Exhaust mods will liven the idle up. Stock exhaust is extremely quiet.

I would go the CBE route first, but that's just me. I don't like messing with emissions systems on street cars.

A tuner should be able to increase the engine idle speed but there's really no reason to do that...

Throw some FI test pipes on and you'll be happy!

Imo, raising the idle just to hear the car seems like a pure waste of money and engine wear.

I personally like that my car only livens up once I get on it. Makes it sound like it is putting out some real power vs just has a noisey unrestricted exhaust making low quality sound.

I had cars that used to give me headaches and I am pretty sure looking back that it was laughable to other people.
